The fire insurance losses in this city since

companies The losses, however, demonstrate

from being absorbed by brokers. Companies
that pay from rs to 40 per cent commissions

Lightning's Work.

The thunder storm of Sunday eve

east of US. A Cloud Of inky black
ness arose in the north and for a
time threatened to make this section
the centre Of the storm, but the shift
ing currents OF wind carried it to the
east and north where much damage
was done in the neighboring counties
of Lancaster and Chester. Later in
the evening rain fell heavily here but
the storms greatest fury was spent
above US, where considerable damage
was done by lightning. The barn Of
Elias Reist in Lancaster Co. was
struck and burned the contents in
Guiding several animals were de.
stroyed. loss IS 600. The barns of
Henry Halter Of Rothville, and of
Solomon Horting, Cocalico township
were burned. A hay house on the
farm of Saml. and James Walker,
Lower Oxford, was struck and with
contents burned. One side of the
kitchen of the house of Miss M. Viii.
liams, of West Fallowfeld, was torn
out. The house Of A. K. Morrison
of Little Britain was struck. Sew.

storm and a number of persons stun

On the previous Friday, John

his face burned and whiskers singed

into his niche. He felt as though the
chances were that the conductor would
not believe his story, and he would
probably be given into custody bag

of two evils, he chose the one which
seemed the least, comforting himself

his trouble, sprang upon the platform

darted In, meaning, II possible, tC
pass through to tlis other end, where,
slipping off, he hoped to be able to
lose himself in the crowd.
Vain hope! As he hurried between
the rows of as yet unoccupied chairs
the rattle Of the conductors key was
heard in the rear door at which he wa.
hoping to escape, while the shuttle o.
feet. and sound Of voices, at the door
which he had entered, told Tad that he
was fairly trapped.
Glancing despaiiingly about him,
Tad's quick eye discovered at least a
temporary hiding-place. Dropping on
his knees, he crawled behind the near
est Of the revolving chairs. which, fort
unately for him, was the one next
the door of entrance. Concealed by its
arching back. Tad made himself as
small as possible in the angle formed

result in fear and trembling.
He heard the sound of masculine
feet and the rustic of silken skirts.

Suspending her heavy, fur-lincd cloak
from hook at the compartment end,
the lady patted and pulled its long
folds into place behind the chair-back,

stopped beating, as her gloved fingers
once or twice actually grazed his hair
But he remained undiscovered, and.
better still, the sheltering garment
helped to hide him more effectually
than before, and, rs its owner seated
herself with little sigh of relief, Tad

about the ear, was Obliged to beat a
hasty retreat-becausc
The ears were in motion! In his ex-

to the conductor to stop the train, but,
remembering the unpleasant results
